En Passant 3,748 Posted April 10, 2018 Ok, so, Mick Fleetwood says to Neil Finn "I Got You" if he's referring to Split Enz and as above if Crowded House since the bloke was in both. NZ has to recycle such talent though more than one band. Also the guitarist from Tom Petty's band since Tom won't be needing him anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,673 Posted April 10, 2018 Seen all them posts above but Buckingham is the most conspiciously healthy of the Rumours band, right? Egos, money etc. etc. though they'll happily get out and tour the hits he wrote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the end, I thought I couldn't pick them all and one would be favouritism (and I'd probably pick the wrong one!) so I didn't bother. I'll regret this train of thought maybe....

maryportfuncity 10,673 Posted February 9, 2019 Given the industrial scale of coke consumption during the bands glory days it's amazing it took this long for one of them to have heart surgery. Wouldn't have had my money on Buckingham, personally. Stevie Nicks is tiny so she was ingesting powerful drugs into a lot less body weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millwall32 114 Posted February 9, 2019 John McVie will be the next to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,071 Posted February 9, 2019 Well @millwall32 John McVie has been on a smattering of DPs for maybe 5 years now, what with a cancer diagnosis and all. I made the smarmy comment on the DP I run that we've all been picking the wrong member of FMac. In fact despite @YoungWillz angst about Buckingham I am certain he would have logically chosen 'the wrong one' and gone with McVie. Who wouldn't have? And btw when you say next to go -- sounds like you've already determined Buckingham Nixed. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC Surviving the first month is a bit tricky, but his odds of living are still very good. After that, he should be golden for 10 more years at least ( or at least the same as any coke-sniffing 70 year old rocker who hasn't had open heart surgery). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
